Thank you.

However, I do not want my positive dreams to make me become complacent in my quest for spiritual development.

For the benefit of everyone reading this, I wish to share this quote I have found online:


From: http://www.kagyu.org/kagyulineage/lineage/kag06.php

Extract:

"Having explained the many significances of Dakpo Rinpoche's dream, Milarepa noted all the auspicious predictions in it for his future.

"However," he said, "although it is very auspicious, and a good omen for the future, you must again learn not to become attached to the dream, or to develop expectations from the dream. Nothing can be so positive that it could not turn negative if we hope or expect."

In the same way, Milarepa advised Dakpo Rinpoche not to take any negative dreams seriously either. All negative or painful dreams are illusions, not real. If we can see them as they are, and avoid becoming attached to their negative meanings, they become positive things for us and enrich us for further development on the spiritual path. "So," Milarepa advised Gampopa, "you must learn to see the negative dreams as illusion and not to take them seriously, nor should you become attached to the meanings of positive dreams; that is the practice of the yogi."

Note that Milarepa is one of the greatest Buddhist gurus of Tibet, and he is highly revered by Tibetan Buddhists. Milarepa is one of the greatest dream yogi ever.

Anyway, so that I can confirm with you that I understand you fully, what do you mean when you say that the "final re-encounter is unavoidable anyway"? Are you saying that my dream suggests that it is unavoidable that I will meet my friend again when we both have reached our ultimate spiritual destination (that is: Enlightenment)?
